Business idea: build a plug-and-play device that anyone can put on their roof that monitors the sky 24/7, one wide-angle lens for movement detection, one zoom lens on a swivel that locks on target & records. Add auto-upload, infrared, stabilization, etc. Let's call it Rooftop Seti. I bet loads of people would buy it.

@Gigi What would you be trying to detect and record? Birds, planes, and falling trees?

there is/was a project in the #ufo community that was trying to do exactly that... SkyHub I think? Not sure if they're active anymore Avi Loeb at Harvard also talked about something similar... "Ring Camera" but for the skies 😄

Actually this:

Sky360

Sky360 Observational Citizen Science of Earths atmosphere. Sky360 is developing a network of 150k stations worldwide for 24/7 sky situation awareness.

Not aware of how active or inactive it currently is
